HINDI - TransparentSolar CellsGlassMobile Dispaly Display AutoBattery Charging
Organic solar cells - which use energy from the sun to generate electricity - are unique in that they're transparent and light-weight, and can be manufactured in different shapes and colors.
They can be used for a wide range of applications that can't be done with conventional silicon solar cells, which are heavier and more rigid.
The glasses, made by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, were designed as a case study demonstrating how organic solar cells can be used.
'We bring solar power to places where other solar technologies fail,' says Dr Alexander Colsmann, Head of Organic Photovoltaics Group at KIT's LightTechnology.
The 'smart' SolarGlasses are self-powered to measure and display the degree of solar illumination and the temperature, and they also work in indoor environments under illuminations as low as 500 Lux - the usual illumination level of an office or living area.
Even under indoor conditions, the lenses are capable of each generating 200 microwatt's of electric power - enough to operate devices such as a hearing aid or a step counter.
The solar cell lenses were fitted to a commercial frame and have a thickness of about 1.6 millimeters (0.06 inches) and weigh six grams (0.2 ounces), similar to the lenses of traditional sunglasses.
The microprocessor and the two displays are integrated into the temples of the Solar Glasses, showing the illumination intensity and ambient temperature as bar graphs.

If you want some privacy there are models that are semitransparent with a totally transparent moon roof for stargazing.
9. Gigwam Tent
This cave tent features a series of teepee-style tents connected through tunnels so you can create a mini village with your family or friends while on a camping trip. Each section is designed to fit two people so you and a few other can own the village. The poles of the tent are on the inside so it makes collapsing the tent a breeze that is easier than the average tent.
8. TemperFly
This massive solar panel tent is being tested by the U.S. Army which shouldn't be a surprise. The tents thin photovoltaic cells can generate 800 watts of electricity on a 16 by 20 foot surface. This could allow soldiers to charge gadgets without the need of a generator. For army personnel this amazing tent could be a game changer. The tent is also ideal in natural disaster response situations and could help lives around the world.
7. Urban Tent
If you live in a big city but just got kicked out of your apartment and need to blend in somewhere in the city while catching a few z’s you could always grab this car tent. That way no one will know you're homeless and you will have shelter from the elements. You just have to hope that no one will look at your “car” too closely.
6. Cocoon Hanging Tent
This futuristic looking tent can hang nicely in any forest and is designed to hold two people comfortably and three people in a squeeze.
5.ConceptSolar Tent
Though this Orange Concept Solar Tent never made it to full scale production it may have made a splash if it was a good tent. It uses sunlight to power the tents under floor heating, lighting, Wi-Fi and charger. Designed with those long excursions and for people who go to festivals in mind you would be the most popular group at the campground with this amazing contraption.
4. Garlic Tent
Hang garlic cloves around this tent and you officially have an area that will be vampire free for sure. It's a tent that Jonathan Harker could have used in his stay at Dracula’s castle. The tent is shaped like a giant clove of garlic which makes it very roomy and able to accommodate at least six people effectively.
3. Camo Tent
Made to blend in with all sorts of environments is a line of these fun tents. These particular ones are sure to confuse the heck out of farm animals.
2. Mongolian Yurt
This is a pretty sweet looking tent designed to look like a mongolian yurt. It's the ultimate tent fort for those trying to get past the Great Wall of China.
1. Sydney Opera House Tent
This tent is full of accommodations that make it barely a tent. It has electrically adjustable beds, hot water and heating and electric lights to go along with everything else. If you say you’ve been camping in this tent you are pretty much lying.

The world's first photovoltaic expressway will open to traffic at 14:00 on Thursday in Jinan, capital city of east China'sShandong Province.
The special route paved with photovoltaic devices extends two kilometers on the southern ring road in Jinan. Some vehicles have been running on this semitransparent road to test its functions.
A minibus driver said he felt nothing different driving on this particular section.
"I'm running at the speed of over 100 kilometers per hour. There's nothing different from the ordinary highway. The braking distance is almost the same as well," said the driver.
Full-named as load-supporting high-speed photovoltaic road, it has three layers. The top one is made of a frosted glass-like semi-translucent material featuring a higher coefficient of friction than that of traditional asphalt pavement. Its light transmittance makes the solar cells below transfer the luminous energy into electric power. During the winter, it can also turn the light into heat to melt snow and ice to ensure road safety.
In addition, electro-magnetic induction coils are placed under the road surface. It is expected that electric cars will get charged wirelessly while running on the road in the near future.
The photovoltaic road section also features ports with access to information collecting devices, a step forward in building big data in transportation.
"This is a massive integration involving different sectors. I think it's a forward-looking development and a groundbreaking revolution," said Xu Chunfu, chairman of the board of QiluTransportationDevelopmentGroup.
The group has invested in the construction of the giant and promising project. According to Xu, it is their dream to bring light and energy to every corner of the world.

Solar cell

A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, is an electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, which is a physical and chemical phenomenon. It is a form of photoelectric cell, defined as a device whose electrical characteristics, such as current, voltage, or resistance, vary when exposed to light. Solar cells are the building blocks of photovoltaic modules, otherwise known as solar panels.

Solar panel

Solar panel refers to a panel designed to absorb the sun's rays as a source of energy for generating electricity or heating.

A photovoltaic (in short PV) module is a packaged, connected assembly of typically 6×10 solar cells. Solar Photovoltaic panels constitute the solar array of a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies solar electricity in commercial and residential applications. Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions, and typically ranges from 100 to 365 watts. The efficiency of a module determines the area of a module given the same rated output– an 8% efficient 230 watt module will have twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 watt module. There are a few solar panels available that are exceeding 19% efficiency. A single solar module can produce only a limited amount of power; most installations contain multiple modules. A photovoltaic system typically includes a panel or an array of solar modules, a solar inverter, and sometimes a battery and/or solar tracker and interconnection wiring.

BeholdThe Future...Melbourne researchers have successfully created Australia's largest and most flexible solar cells, with the aid of a new printer located at CSIRO.
The breakthrough may have far reaching applications, including for public lighting, outdoor signage and mobile power generation.
The scientists are part of a collaboration between research and industry called the VictorianOrganicSolar CellConsortium (VICOSC).
Australian solar power experts making up the Victorian Organic Solar Cell Consortium have developed and begun to market solar cells that are created with a 3D printer.
“The group, consisting of scientists from the CSIRO, the University of Melbourne and Monash University have been working on the technology for over seven years and have figured out a way to cheaply print the panels onto plastic, including smart-phones and laptops, enabling self charging electronics. They are also able to print directly on to walls and windows using an opaque solar film and claim that they can line a skyscraper with panels, making it totally electrically self sufficient.” said sciencealert.com
“We print them onto plastic in more or less the same way we print our plastic banknotes,” said Fiona Scholes, senior research scientist at CSIRO. “Connecting our solar panels is as simple as connecting a battery. It’s very cheap. The way in which it looks and works is quite different to conventional silicon rooftop solar.”
The next step is to create a solar spray coating to enhance the power of the panel. “We would like to improve the efficiency of solar panels – we need to develop solar inks to generate more energy from sunlight,” said Scholes. “We are confident we can push the technology further in the years to come.”

FSU researchers pushing the efficiency limits of solar cells

A Florida State University research team has produced a new type of solar cell structure that markedly increases light absorption and low energy light harvesting efficiencies.

LCW modules are an aesthetic and functional high-quality technology for sun and glare protection as well as privacy applications – primarily for use in architecture. The sun protection variant can be realized in different light transmittance bandwidths and achieves energy savings of up to 40% in building climate control systems. For users, the windows offer maximum convenience since they offer continuously variable switching within seconds and are absolutely transparent and color-neutral in both switching states – two decisive advantages over competing technologies. The window façade on the west side of Merck’s modular Innovation Center in Darmstadt, Germany, shown in the video was fitted with the new LC windows in early 2015 as a pilot and is being received very positively. The materials are marketed under the brand Licrivision.

Solar-powered color

Colored, see-through solar cells invented at MichiganEngineering could enable 'stained' glass windows, decorative panels and even shade that makes electricity.
The cells, believed to be the first semi-transparent, colored photovoltaics, have the potential to vastly broaden the use of the energy source, says Jay Guo, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science, mechanical engineering, and macromolecular science and engineering who devised them.
They're made with a technique that borrows from conventional inorganic solar cells and more up-and-coming organic cells. Their color isn't derived from dyes, but rather from adjusting the thickness of their semiconductor layer to reflect certain wavelengths of light.
"I think this offers a very different way of utilizing solar technology rather than concentrating it in a small area," Guo said. "We think we can make solar panels more beautiful -- any color a designer wants. And we can vastly deploy these panels, even indoors."
About the Professor: L. Jay Guo (https://www.eecs.umich.edu/eecs/etc/fac/facsearchform.cgi?guo+) is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (http://eecs.umich.edu/), Macromolecular Science and Engineering (http://www.macromse.com/) and Mechanical Engineering (http://me.engin.umich.edu/) at the University of MichiganCollege of Engineering (http://www.engin.umich.edu/).

World's first solar-panel expressway opens for testing in Shandong, China

A cutting-edge solar motorway that could charge electric cars! Xinhua takes a closer look at world's first solar-panel expressway in Shandong, China. The 1-km highway is able to generate 1 million kwh of power in a year!
#AmazingChina

The world's first photovoltaic expressway will open to traffic at 14:00 on Thursday in Jinan, capital city of east China'sShandong Province.
The special route paved with photovoltaic devices extends two kilometers on the southern ring road in Jinan. Some vehicles have been running on this semitransparent road to test its functions.
A minibus driver said he felt nothing different driving on this particular section.
"I'm running at the speed of over 100 kilometers per hour. There's nothing different from the ordinary highway. The braking distance is almost the same as well," said the driver.
Full-named as load-supporting high-speed photovoltaic road, it has three layers. The top one is made of a frosted glass-like semi-translucent material featuring a higher coefficient of friction ...

FSU researchers pushing the efficiency limits of solar cells

A Florida State University research team has produced a new type of solar cell structure that markedly increases light absorption and low energy light harvesting efficiencies.

LCW modules are an aesthetic and functional high-quality technology for sun and glare protection as well as privacy applications – primarily for use in architecture. The sun protection variant can be realized in different light transmittance bandwidths and achieves energy savings of up to 40% in building climate control systems. For users, the windows offer maximum convenience since they offer continuously variable switching within seconds and are absolutely transparent and color-neutral in both switching states – two decisive advantages over competing technologies. The window façade on the west side of Merck’s modular Innovation Center in Darmstadt, Germany, shown in the video was fitted with the new LC windows in early 2015 as a pilot and is being received very positively. The materials ...

Solar-powered color

Colored, see-through solar cells invented at MichiganEngineering could enable 'stained' glass windows, decorative panels and even shade that makes electricity.
The cells, believed to be the first semi-transparent, colored photovoltaics, have the potential to vastly broaden the use of the energy source, says Jay Guo, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science, mechanical engineering, and macromolecular science and engineering who devised them.
They're made with a technique that borrows from conventional inorganic solar cells and more up-and-coming organic cells. Their color isn't derived from dyes, but rather from adjusting the thickness of their semiconductor layer to reflect certain wavelengths of light.

HINDI - TransparentSolar CellsGlassMobile Dispaly Display AutoBattery Charging
Organic solar cells - which use energy from the sun to generate electricity - are unique in that they're transparent and light-weight, and can be manufactured in different shapes and colors.
They can be used for a wide range of applications that can't be done with conventional silicon solar cells, which are heavier and more rigid.
The glasses, made by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, were designed as a case study demonstrating how organic solar cells can be used.
'We bring solar power to places where other solar technologies fail,' says Dr Alexander Colsmann, Head of Organic Photovoltaics Group at KIT's LightTechnology.
The 'smart' SolarGlasses are self-powered to measure and display the degree of solar illumination and the temperature, and they also work in indoor environments under illuminations as low as 500 Lux - the usual illumination level of an office or living area.
Even under indoor conditions, the lenses are capable of each generating 200 microwatt's of electric power - enough to operate devices such as a hearing aid or a step counter.
The solar cell lenses were fitted to a commercial frame and have a thickness of about 1.6 millimeters (0.06 inches) and weigh six grams (0.2 ounces), similar to the lenses of traditional sunglasses.
The microprocessor and the two displays are integrated into the temples of the Solar Glasses, showing the illumination intensity and ambient temperature as bar graphs.

From the 2 SECOND Tent, to the EPIC Gigwam, these are the 25 World's Craziest Tents !
Subscribe to KnowledgeFeed for MythMania Mondays, FactTree Tuesdays, Wildlife Wednesdays, Origin Thursdays, Fun Fact Fridays & WildcardWeekends.
14. Surf Tent
Surfs up everyone! This concept tent was meant to provide shelter in a pinch on the beach when you wind up far from civilization or simply want to be able to roll out of bed and hit the best waves immediately. If you are a surfer you would absolutely love and need this really crazy but amazing tent.
13 2Seconds
This tent designed by Quechua features a fiberglass spring that pops open when you throw it. This means that all you have to do to pitch this tent is throw it in the air. By the time it lands it will be a fully formed tent ready for you to sleep and take shelter in. The only thing you have to do is stake it to the ground.
12. Cork Tent
This Tree House tent is 100% free of chemicals, lightweight and made of sustainable cork. It may not look so but it's actually very portable. It collapses down to the size of a rolled up yoga mat. Cork is an amazing material that is naturally insulating and helps provide a stable, comfortable temperature when inside.
11. Raindrop Tent
This tent was originally designed by protesters trying to prevent trees from being cut down. The Tree Tent has the ability to hang from a sturdy branch and provides surprisingly spacious and comfortable camping. It measures thirteen feet tall and nine feet wide and comes outfitted with a hardwood sleeping platform and round mattress that is big enough to fit two active adult environmental activists and their two children.
10. See Through Bubble
Dubbed the Bubble Tree tent this apparatus provides luxurious accommodations even in the harshest environments. The tent comes with a layer of transparent plastic for further protection. If you want some privacy there are models that are semitransparent with a totally transparent moon roof for stargazing.
9. Gigwam Tent
This cave tent features a series of teepee-style tents connected through tunnels so you can create a mini village with your family or friends while on a camping trip. Each section is designed to fit two people so you and a few other can own the village. The poles of the tent are on the inside so it makes collapsing the tent a breeze that is easier than the average tent.
8. TemperFly
This massive solar panel tent is being tested by the U.S. Army which shouldn't be a surprise. The tents thin photovoltaic cells can generate 800 watts of electricity on a 16 by 20 foot surface. This could allow soldiers to charge gadgets without the need of a generator. For army personnel this amazing tent could be a game changer. The tent is also ideal in natural disaster response situations and could help lives around the world.
7. Urban Tent
If you live in a big city but just got kicked out of your apartment and need to blend in somewhere in the city while catching a few z’s you could always grab this car tent. That way no one will know you're homeless and you will have shelter from the elements. You just have to hope that no one will look at your “car” too closely.
6. Cocoon Hanging Tent
This futuristic looking tent can hang nicely in any forest and is designed to hold two people comfortably and three people in a squeeze.
5.ConceptSolar Tent
Though this Orange Concept Solar Tent never made it to full scale production it may have made a splash if it was a good tent. It uses sunlight to power the tents under floor heating, lighting, Wi-Fi and charger. Designed with those long excursions and for people who go to festivals in mind you would be the most popular group at the campground with this amazing contraption.
4. Garlic Tent
Hang garlic cloves around this tent and you officially have an area that will be vampire free for sure. It's a tent that Jonathan Harker could have used in his stay at Dracula’s castle. The tent is shaped like a giant clove of garlic which makes it very roomy and able to accommodate at least six people effectively.
3. Camo Tent
Made to blend in with all sorts of environments is a line of these fun tents. These particular ones are sure to confuse the heck out of farm animals.
2. Mongolian Yurt
This is a pretty sweet looking tent designed to look like a mongolian yurt. It's the ultimate tent fort for those trying to get past the Great Wall of China.
1. Sydney Opera House Tent
This tent is full of accommodations that make it barely a tent. It has electrically adjustable beds, hot water and heating and electric lights to go along with everything else. If you say you’ve been camping in this tent you are pretty much lying.

"I'm running at the speed of over 100 kilometers per hour. There's nothing different from the ordinary highway. The braking distance is almost the same as well," said the driver.
Full-named as load-supporting high-speed photovoltaic road, it has three layers. The top one is made of a frosted glass-like semi-translucent material featuring a higher coefficient of friction than that of traditional asphalt pavement. Its light transmittance makes the solar cells below transfer the luminous energy into electric power. During the winter, it can also turn the light into heat to melt snow and ice to ensure road safety.
In addition, electro-magnetic induction coils are placed under the road surface. It is expected that electric cars will get charged wirelessly while running on the road in the near future.
The photovoltaic road section also features ports with access to information collecting devices, a step forward in building big data in transportation.
"This is a massive integration involving different sectors. I think it's a forward-looking development and a groundbreaking revolution," said Xu Chunfu, chairman of the board of QiluTransportationDevelopmentGroup.
The group has invested in the construction of the giant and promising project. According to Xu, it is their dream to bring light and energy to every corner of the world.

The scientists are part of a collaboration between research and industry called the VictorianOrganicSolar CellConsortium (VICOSC).
Australian solar power experts making up the Victorian Organic Solar Cell Consortium have developed and begun to market solar cells that are created with a 3D printer.
“The group, consisting of scientists from the CSIRO, the University of Melbourne and Monash University have been working on the technology for over seven years and have figured out a way to cheaply print the panels onto plastic, including smart-phones and laptops, enabling self charging electronics. They are also able to print directly on to walls and windows using an opaque solar film and claim that they can line a skyscraper with panels, making it totally electrically self sufficient.” said sciencealert.com
“We print them onto plastic in more or less the same way we print our plastic banknotes,” said Fiona Scholes, senior research scientist at CSIRO. “Connecting our solar panels is as simple as connecting a battery. It’s very cheap. The way in which it looks and works is quite different to conventional silicon rooftop solar.”
The next step is to create a solar spray coating to enhance the power of the panel. “We would like to improve the efficiency of solar panels – we need to develop solar inks to generate more energy from sunlight,” said Scholes. “We are confident we can push the technology further in the years to come.”

Jay Guo (https://www.eecs.umich.edu/eecs/etc/fac/facsearchform.cgi?guo+) is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (http://eecs.umich.edu/), Macromolecular Science and Engineering (http://www.macromse.com/) and Mechanical Engineering (http://me.engin.umich.edu/) at the University of MichiganCollege of Engineering (http://www.engin.umich.edu/). His research at the Guo ResearchGroup (http://www.guogroup.org/) includes polymer-based photonic devices and sensor applications, organic and hybrid photovoltaics, plasmonic nanophotonics/metamaterials, nanomanufacturing technologies and applications.

Colored, see-through solar cells invented at MichiganEngineering could enable 'stained' glass windows, decorative panels and even shade that makes electricity.
The cells, believed to be the first semi-transparent, colored photovoltaics, have the potential to vastly broaden the use of the energy source, says Jay Guo, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science, mechanical engineering, and macromolecular science and engineering who devised them.
They're made with a technique that borrows from conventional inorganic solar cells and more up-and-coming organic cells. Their color isn't derived from dyes, but rather from adjusting the thickness of their semiconductor layer to reflect certain wavelengths of light.

Ramamoorthy Ramesh, an innovative materials scientist at Berkeley Lab, will discuss how he and other researchers are working to make photovoltaic cells using the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust -- materials that are literally as common as dirt.
Energy efficiency in China
Nan Zhou is a researcher with Berkeley Lab's China EnergyGroup. She will speak about Chinas energy use and the policies that have been implemented to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emission growth. Her work focuses on building China's capacity to evaluate, adopt and implement low-carbon development strategies. Zhou has an architecture degree from China, and a Master and Ph.D. in Engineering from Japan.
Understanding geologic carbon sequestration
Even with continued growth of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, fossil fuels will likely remain cheap and plentiful for decades to come. Geologist Curt Oldenburg, who heads Berkeley Lab's Geologic Carbon SequestrationProgram, will discuss a strategy to reduce carbon emissions from coal and natural gas. It involves pumping compressed CO2 captured from large stationary sources into underground rock formations that can store it for geological time scales.

The global economy is in crisis. The exponential exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models. Where do we go from here? In this feature-length documentary, social and economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin lays out a road map to usher in a new economic system.
A Third Industrial Revolution is unfolding with the convergence of three pivotal technologies: an ultra-fast 5G communication internet, a renewable energy internet, and a driverless mobility internet, all connected to the Internet of Things embedded across society and the environment.
This 21st century smart digital infrastructure is giving rise to a radical new sharing economy that is transforming the way we manage, power and move economic life. But with climate change now ravaging the planet, it needs to happen fast. Change of this magnitude requires political will and a profound ideological shift.

Transparent Solar Cells Glass Mobile Display - Auto Battery Charging

HINDI - TransparentSolar CellsGlassMobile Dispaly Display AutoBattery Charging
Organic solar cells - which use energy from the sun to generate electricity - are unique in that they're transparent and light-weight, and can be manufactured in different shapes and colors.
They can be used for a wide range of applications that can't be done with conventional silicon solar cells, which are heavier and more rigid.
The glasses, made by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, were designed as a case study demonstrating how organic solar cells can be used.
'We bring solar power to places where other solar technologies fail,' says Dr Alexander Colsmann, Head of Organic Photovoltaics Group at KIT's LightTechnology.
The 'smart' SolarGlasses are self-powered to measure and display the degree of solar illumination and the temperature, and they also work in indoor environments under illuminations as low as 500 Lux - the usual illumination level of an office or living area.
Even under indoor conditions, the lenses are capable of each generating 200 microwatt's of electric power - enough to operate devices such as a hearing aid or a step counter.
The solar cell lenses were fitted to a commercial frame and have a thickness of about 1.6 millimeters (0.06 inches) and weigh six grams (0.2 ounces), similar to the lenses of traditional sunglasses.
The microprocessor and the two displays are integrated into the temples of the Solar Glasses, showing the illumination intensity and ambient temperature as bar graphs.

25 World’s Craziest Tents

From the 2 SECOND Tent, to the EPIC Gigwam, these are the 25 World's Craziest Tents !
Subscribe to KnowledgeFeed for MythMania Mondays, FactTree Tuesdays, Wildlife Wednesdays, Origin Thursdays, Fun Fact Fridays & WildcardWeekends.
14. Surf Tent
Surfs up everyone! This concept tent was meant to provide shelter in a pinch on the beach when you wind up far from civilization or simply want to be able to roll out of bed and hit the best waves immediately. If you are a surfer you would absolutely love and need this really crazy but amazing tent.
13 2Seconds
This tent designed by Quechua features a fiberglass spring that pops open when you throw it. This means that all you have to do to pitch this tent is throw it in the air. By the time it lands it will be a fully formed tent ready for you to sleep and take shelter in. The only thing you have to do is stake it to the ground.
12. Cork Tent
This Tree House tent is 100% free of chemicals, lightweight and made of sustainable cork. It may not look so but it's actually very portable. It collapses down to the size of a rolled up yoga mat. Cork is an amazing material that is naturally insulating and helps provide a stable, comfortable temperature when inside.
11. Raindrop Tent
This tent was originally designed by protesters trying to prevent trees from being cut down. The Tree Tent has the ability to hang from a sturdy branch and provides surprisingly spacious and comfortable camping. It measures thirteen feet tall and nine feet wide and comes outfitted with a hardwood sleeping platform and round mattress that is big enough to fit two active adult environmental activists and their two children.
10. See Through Bubble
Dubbed the Bubble Tree tent this apparatus provides luxurious accommodations even in the harshest environments. The tent comes with a layer of transparent plastic for further protection. If you want some privacy there are models that are semitransparent with a totally transparent moon roof for stargazing.
9. Gigwam Tent
This cave tent features a series of teepee-style tents connected through tunnels so you can create a mini village with your family or friends while on a camping trip. Each section is designed to fit two people so you and a few other can own the village. The poles of the tent are on the inside so it makes collapsing the tent a breeze that is easier than the average tent.
8. TemperFly
This massive solar panel tent is being tested by the U.S. Army which shouldn't be a surprise. The tents thin photovoltaic cells can generate 800 watts of electricity on a 16 by 20 foot surface. This could allow soldiers to charge gadgets without the need of a generator. For army personnel this amazing tent could be a game changer. The tent is also ideal in natural disaster response situations and could help lives around the world.
7. Urban Tent
If you live in a big city but just got kicked out of your apartment and need to blend in somewhere in the city while catching a few z’s you could always grab this car tent. That way no one will know you're homeless and you will have shelter from the elements. You just have to hope that no one will look at your “car” too closely.
6. Cocoon Hanging Tent
This futuristic looking tent can hang nicely in any forest and is designed to hold two people comfortably and three people in a squeeze.
5.ConceptSolar Tent
Though this Orange Concept Solar Tent never made it to full scale production it may have made a splash if it was a good tent. It uses sunlight to power the tents under floor heating, lighting, Wi-Fi and charger. Designed with those long excursions and for people who go to festivals in mind you would be the most popular group at the campground with this amazing contraption.
4. Garlic Tent
Hang garlic cloves around this tent and you officially have an area that will be vampire free for sure. It's a tent that Jonathan Harker could have used in his stay at Dracula’s castle. The tent is shaped like a giant clove of garlic which makes it very roomy and able to accommodate at least six people effectively.
3. Camo Tent
Made to blend in with all sorts of environments is a line of these fun tents. These particular ones are sure to confuse the heck out of farm animals.
2. Mongolian Yurt
This is a pretty sweet looking tent designed to look like a mongolian yurt. It's the ultimate tent fort for those trying to get past the Great Wall of China.
1. Sydney Opera House Tent
This tent is full of accommodations that make it barely a tent. It has electrically adjustable beds, hot water and heating and electric lights to go along with everything else. If you say you’ve been camping in this tent you are pretty much lying.

World's first solar-panel expressway opens for testing in Shandong, China

World's first solar-panel expressway opens for testing in Shandong, China

A cutting-edge solar motorway that could charge electric cars! Xinhua takes a closer look at world's first solar-panel expressway in Shandong, China. The 1-km highway is able to generate 1 million kwh of power in a year!
#AmazingChina

The world's first photovoltaic expressway will open to traffic at 14:00 on Thursday in Jinan, capital city of east China'sShandong Province.
The special route paved with photovoltaic devices extends two kilometers on the southern ring road in Jinan. Some vehicles have been running on this semitransparent road to test its functions.
A minibus driver said he felt nothing different driving on this particular section.
"I'm running at the speed of over 100 kilometers per hour. There's nothing different from the ordinary highway. The braking distance is almost the same as well," said the driver.
Full-named as load-supporting high-speed photovoltaic road, it has three layers. The top one is made of a frosted glass-like semi-translucent material featuring a higher coefficient of friction than that of traditional asphalt pavement. Its light transmittance makes the solar cells below transfer the luminous energy into electric power. During the winter, it can also turn the light into heat to melt snow and ice to ensure road safety.
In addition, electro-magnetic induction coils are placed under the road surface. It is expected that electric cars will get charged wirelessly while running on the road in the near future.
The photovoltaic road section also features ports with access to information collecting devices, a step forward in building big data in transportation.
"This is a massive integration involving different sectors. I think it's a forward-looking development and a groundbreaking revolution," said Xu Chunfu, chairman of the board of QiluTransportationDevelopmentGroup.
The group has invested in the construction of the giant and promising project. According to Xu, it is their dream to bring light and energy to every corner of the world.

Mass Produced Printable Solar Cells - BTF

BeholdThe Future...Melbourne researchers have successfully created Australia's largest and most flexible solar cells, with the aid of a new printer located at CSIRO.
The breakthrough may have far reaching applications, including for public lighting, outdoor signage and mobile power generation.
The scientists are part of a collaboration between research and industry called the VictorianOrganicSolar CellConsortium (VICOSC).
Australian solar power experts making up the Victorian Organic Solar Cell Consortium have developed and begun to market solar cells that are created with a 3D printer.
“The group, consisting of scientists from the CSIRO, the University of Melbourne and Monash University have been working on the technology for over seven years and have figured out a way to cheaply print the panels onto plastic, including smart-phones and laptops, enabling self charging electronics. They are also able to print directly on to walls and windows using an opaque solar film and claim that they can line a skyscraper with panels, making it totally electrically self sufficient.” said sciencealert.com
“We print them onto plastic in more or less the same way we print our plastic banknotes,” said Fiona Scholes, senior research scientist at CSIRO. “Connecting our solar panels is as simple as connecting a battery. It’s very cheap. The way in which it looks and works is quite different to conventional silicon rooftop solar.”
The next step is to create a solar spray coating to enhance the power of the panel. “We would like to improve the efficiency of solar panels – we need to develop solar inks to generate more energy from sunlight,” said Scholes. “We are confident we can push the technology further in the years to come.”

Matter of Debate: Is Privacy Paramount or Should We Live in a Transparent Society? (Full Session)

Science at the Theater: Just say no to carbon emissions

April 26, 2010Science at the Theater: Learn about three efforts our grandchildren may thank us for: cheap solar energy, bringing energy efficiency to China, and learning how to store carbon deep underground.
Can solar energy be dirt cheap?
We're all potentially billionaires when it comes to solar energy. The trick is learning how to convert sunlight to electricity using cheap and plentiful materials. Ramamoorthy Ramesh, an innovative materials scientist at Berkeley Lab, will discuss how he and other researchers are working to make photovoltaic cells using the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust -- materials that are literally as common as dirt.
Energy efficiency in China
Nan Zhou is a researcher with Berkeley Lab's China EnergyGroup. She will speak about Chinas energy use and the policies that have been implemented to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emission growth. Her work focuses on building China's capacity to evaluate, adopt and implement low-carbon development strategies. Zhou has an architecture degree from China, and a Master and Ph.D. in Engineering from Japan.
Understanding geologic carbon sequestration
Even with continued growth of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, fossil fuels will likely remain cheap and plentiful for decades to come. Geologist Curt Oldenburg, who heads Berkeley Lab's Geologic Carbon SequestrationProgram, will discuss a strategy to reduce carbon emissions from coal and natural gas. It involves pumping compressed CO2 captured from large stationary sources into underground rock formations that can store it for geological time scales.
